Matthew and Monica - The Rehearsal (Wedding coming soon....get ready ya'll!)

Valentina's 1!

How crazy is that?  I can't believe she's one and I know Mom and Dad can't believe it either.  I have had so much fun photographing this little girl over the past year and she continues to get cuter and cuter!

Dan, Thuy, and Buster

So this has never happened before - I had one of my best dressed and worst dressed couples all in the same session.  Thuy, Dan, and Buster went with the glitz and glamour for their first outfits....and ugly Christmas sweaters for their second.  So much fun!

Liliana & Louis

I know that taking family portraits can be a stressful event for parents.  Quality photography is an investment, and once the date is set, then you fret over the weather and what everyone is going to wear.  I think parents with small children almost always come away from our portrait sessions thinking "Did we get anything good at all!?!?". The reason I mention this now is because I have been sitting here giggling for the past couple hours as I work on this beautiful family's portraits, specifically because about half of the pictures that I have of little Louis, he is running madly out of the frame with an ecstatic look of joy on his face.  I should just do a mash-up of all the exultation.  While I know that his rapturous running was probably a little stressful for Mom and Dad, it was absolutely adorable and I love how these all turned out.  Here they are all, including twins Liliana and Louis....

 Such pretty blue eyes!

 Smile after smile from these two.

 I know this isn't the "perfect portrait" but I love the looks on Mom and Dad's faces here.

Stunning couple!

 Off to the races.

Zoe and Peyton

I photographed these beautiful little girls and their family this past weekend.  So sweet!
